that cat came back again
i had almost forgotten about him
he scratched me up again
but we both know there was never any cat

there's no such thing as cool kids
no one really knows what's right
diamonds are just rocks
dark is just absence of light
love cannot be proven
wars are never really won
people are just atoms
just like lilies, stones, and suns.

looking straight up
scared to look down
scared to slip
and fall
off the solid ground

when dead becomes the new normal
life starts to feel wrong.
you feel weaker every time
someone calls you strong.
am i dead to you
like you're dead to the world?
did you become my poison
or were you killing me all along?

nothing could take the pain away
so nothing became my relief
nothing became my morphine
of all of my vices
nothing had the strongest grip
sweet sweet nothing

i didn't choose to love
but love decided to haunt me.
       love decided to taunt me
                                torture me
with what i didn't want before
                 what i now long for
                                      but can never have.

you seem to underestimate
the amount of hurt
the amount of hate
the amount of sorrow
that it takes
to hold up a razor
a lighter
to skin
to turn against instinct
self-preservation
in favor of pain
self-harm
